Washing your hands with cold water inhibits the spread of bacteria and germs. Hot water encourages growth of unwanted organisms. But in most cases, the bacteria are much safer than the chemicals used to kill them. You can use plain vodka or vinegar as a disinfectant.

Use sea salt and baking soda instead, to clean your oven.

Flea collars are pesticides. Leave your pet a dish of brewer's yeast; it will instinctively eat it as needed and repel fleas naturally.

DANGERS
Chlorine is the number one cause of breast cancer and can be lethal. Scientists won't handle chlorine without protective gloves, facemasks, and ventilation, yet it is in most store-brand cleaners. The harmful effects are intensified when the fumes are heated, as in the shower. It's in our drinking water, swimming pools, and more.

Fluoride is worse, but space limits its discussion here. Do your own research and avoid it. It is one of the biggest scams of all time. It has no benefits whatsoever. It's extremely poisonous!
